This "Heavenly Kingdom's Land System" was originally formulated together by Luo YaoGuo and Feng YunShan, and Feng YunShan, of course, approved of it.
Just then, he furrowed his brow and looked at Luo YaoGuo, then at Xiao Chaogui, and finally at Yang Xiuqing. He always felt something was wrong, but in the end, he did not directly answer Hong Xiuquan's question. Instead, he pointed to the chair that Yang Xiuqing had previously sat in and was now empty, and said to Hong Xiuquan: "Oh king, you take a seat first, and then we can discuss whether to implement the 'Heavenly Kingdom's Land System'!"
Now, Hong Xiuquan finally noticed that he was still kneeling on the floor, while Xiao Chaogui was sitting on the chair originally meant for Hong Xiuquan with a confused look. This Taiping Heavenly Kingdom hierarchy is really a bit chaotic!
At this moment, Xiao Chaogui seemed to realize that he was sitting in the wrong place and tried to get up, but for some reason, he felt completely weak, and his ankle hurt especially bad. He struggled but couldn't get up, so he said to Hong Xuanjiao, "Sister, come here and give me a hand."
At this time, Hong Xiuquan had already climbed up and taken his seat on the chair originally occupied by Yang Xiuqing. Seeing Xiao Chaogui's pale and weak appearance, he waved his hand and said, "Sit down, sit down. You've also had a long journey today. Today you've come twice as the heavenly brother!"
Xiao Chaogui was still pretending to be confused there, looking worried and saying, "Fortunately, fortunately, just possession, I was scared to death."
Then he saw Yang Xiuqing, whose face was looking quite bad, and with the help of Hong Xuanjiao, he struggled to stand up, saying to Yang Xiuqing, "Older brother, older brother, you sit down, you sit down."
Yang Xiuqing, however, huffed and said, "Brother-in-law of my sister, you take a seat first. Afterwards, you will sit with the king and I will stand!"
"This, this, this is not acceptable. You are the East King who regulates the princes! How can you stand? No, no, absolutely not"
Xiao Chaogui still maintained an air of modesty and caution, refusing to sit down no matter what was said.
This time, Yang Xiuqing was really frightened by the "true Christ descending to earth," and he dared not sit on the special seat meant for the "Living God of the Heavenly Kingdom."
It was not that he suddenly regretted and dared not be the "father," but he had already noticed that the number of "living fathers" above Hong Xiuquan was increasing!
Originally, he was the only living father, but just now, Xiao Chaogui's words, "Since you have seen the Jesus Lord, why don't you bow?" also qualified him as a living father!
And where did the "true Jesus Lord" on Xiao Chaogui's body come from?
Luo YaoGuo summoned it!
Being able to summon the "true Jesus Lord" certainly speaks to the "fatherly aura" of Luo YaoGuo!
How did the "angel" Luo YaoGuo come down?
He had come down to give Feng YunShan the "Amoxicillin Powder" and "Ibuprofen Solution" as per the command of the Heavenly Father and Brother!
The 'Ibuprofen Liquid' seems to be finished, but there are still forty-seven 'Amoxicillin Pills' left!
Just with these forty-seven 'Amoxicillin Pills' and Luo YaoGuo's sudden arrival, it seems that Feng YunShan's "fatherly aura" is also very strong!
That is to say, Hong Xiuquan has now added three more living fathers!
Including Yang Xiuqing, he now has a total of four living fathers.
With four living fathers, only one chair? This Heavenly King is a bit ungrateful!
At this time, Hong Xiuquan also realized that there was something fishy going on. He suddenly realized that the biggest loser from Gao Chaogui's possession by the "true Jesus Lord" was actually him and Yang Xiuqing!
Thinking of this, Hong Xiuquan had to sigh and instructed the two guards who were called by Yang Xiuqing to prepare to beat Luo YaoGuo for punishment: "Bring in three more chairs, one for Qingzhu, one for Shanzhu, and one for Guozhu! In the future, when the emperor discusses political matters with the princes, Qingzhu, Shanzhu, Guozhu, and my sister-in-law can sit down while Qingzhuu, Dazhuu, and Liugui can stand."
Hearing him say this, Xiao Chaogui and Yang Xiuqing no longer argued. Luo YaoGuo and Feng YunShan both smiled with satisfaction. There is an old Chinese saying: "Those who recognize the current situation are true heroes."
This Heavenly King is still a hero now! He can keep on being a "son"!
The two guards received Hong Xiuquan's order and turned to run out. In a short while, they came back with three chairs, placed them on both sides of the hall.
Yang Xiuqing also picked up the chair that had been passed back and forth between him and Xiao Chaogui for a while and moved it to the side.
Thus, in the middle of the hall, there was a layout with Hong Xiuquan's chair and a tablet for the Supreme Heavenly Father, Emperor of the Creator, placed side by side, with two facing chairs on each side.
Hong Xiuquan secretly sighed and then began distributing the chairs to his subordinates.
"Qingzhu and my sister-in-law, please sit closer to the emperor. Qingzhu sits on the left and my sister-in-law sits on the right. Shanzhu and Guozhu, please sit further away. Shanzhu is on the left and Guozhu is on the right."
"Yes!"
"Jinqing, Chaogui, Yunshan, and YaoGuo bow together to Hong Xiuquan."
Yang Xiuqing used to refuse to kneel before Hong Xiuquan, and now he still bowed respectfully. Xiao Chaogui used to kneel before Hong Xiuquan, but now he was about to kneel with his robe raised. Hong Xiuquan quickly stopped him and said: "Brother-in-law also doesn't need to kneel down."
He's already said "since you have seen the Jesus Lord, why don't you bow"?
Hong Xiuquan dares not let him kneel either.
Feng YunShan and Luo YaoGuo heard that Xiao Chaogui could "escape the kneeling," so they also raised their robes, adopting a posture of half-kneeling and half-standing, smiling and watching Hong Xiuquan—all are "living fathers," you must "treat them equally as fathers"!
Hong Xiuquan had no choice but to wave his hand and say, "Shanzhu, Guozhu, you two don't have to kneel either. We are all brothers-in-arms, what's the need for kneeling?"
"Thank you, Heavenly King!"
Xiao Chaogui, Feng YunShan, and Luo YaoGuo together thanked Hong Xiuquan, then all three of them sat on the chairs in a grand manner.
While Wei Changhui and Hong Xuanjiao had to kowtow and bow down to Hong Xiuquan in a solemn manner, they were no longer of the same caliber as Yang Xiuqing, Xiao Chaogui, Feng YunShan, and Luo YaoGuo. Yang, Xiao, Feng, and Luo were all "first-class gods"!
While Wei Changhui and Hong Xuanjiao's divine status was not entirely true, they could only be considered "second-class gods" at present and had to bow down to Hong Xiuquan.
However, "second-class gods" are still gods, and after bowing down, they can still stand inside the hall.
Thus, in the great hall now, there was a layout with Hong Xiuquan sitting in the center, Yang Xiuqing, Xiao Chaogui, Feng YunShan, and Luo YaoGuo sitting on either side, and Wei Changhui and Hong Xuanjiao standing at the edges.
If Shi Da Kai returns, he would naturally have to stand aside.
Seeing that the "four living fathers" were all seated, Hong Xiuquan smiled and asked, "Can we now discuss the 'Heavenly Kingdom's Land System'?"
"Of course we can!" Luo YaoGuo laughed, "Your majesty, this 'Heavenly Kingdom's Land System' was formulated by my younger brother and third brother. What do you think of it?"
"Very good, very good, wonderful!"
The Jesus Lord just affirmed Luo YaoGuo's work!
How could Hong Xiuquan dare to say it was not good?
If he said it was not good, the bell of the Azure Golden Bowl would ring, and the Heavenly Brother Jesus Lord would come!
"Eastern King, Western King, little brother will read the draft of the 'Heavenly Kingdom's Land System'. You two can also discuss it." Luo YaoGuo took out another draft of the "Heavenly Kingdom's Land System" and read it line by line. It didn't take long before he finished. Then he smiled and looked at Eastern King and Western King, "What do you two think?"
"Great!" Xiao Chaogui clapped his hands together. "Wonderful! Once I take charge of Wuchang, I'll follow this plan!"
"You have excellent taste!"
Luo YaoGuo immediately looked approvingly at Xiao Chaogui——as long as they follow the new version of the "Heavenly Kingdom's Land System," even if they only reach five percent, no, three times their strength, then Hubei will eventually bear the surname of Xiao!
Yang Xiuqing twirled the few sparse whiskers on his face, thought for a moment, and said to Luo YaoGuo, "Brother Eight, this 'Heavenly Kingdom's Land System' is good, but it's not suitable for small plots of land!"
At present, we only have one place called Daozhou. In addition to the prefectural city, there are only dozens of towns and villages. After the expansion of our Taiping army in Daozhou, there are no less than six million male and female combatants, not counting their families. It is likely that there are over ten million of them.
With so many people, how can we maintain this system if we don't implement the law of everything belonging to the supreme sovereign? If we can have a number of prefectures or even an entire province, this "Heavenly Kingdom's Land System" will surely work wonders!”
This Yang Xiuqing truly possesses a high level of expertise!
Although he doesn't know how to read or write, and has limited administrative experience, he deduced that the "Heavenly Kingdom's Land System" must have a large, solid base to work effectively.
"Fourth brother is absolutely right!" Luo YaoGuo nodded slightly, "To implement the 'Heavenly Kingdom's Land System', we must quickly expand our base as soon as possible. We need to occupy more territory to have a better chance of success!"
Yang Xiuqing smiled, "So, when can Brother Eight lead an attack on Changsha again?"
